WhatsApp is working on a new privacy-focused capability designed to give users greater control over their personal contact information. According to recent reports, the messaging platform is testing an option that lets individuals manage the visibility of their phone numbers.
Historically, phone numbers have served as the primary identifier on WhatsApp, which often means personal contact details are visible to others in shared spaces such as group chats. This upcoming feature aims to address those concerns by providing granular controls over who can view that information.
While the exact mechanics and an official release timeline have not yet been confirmed, the addition marks a notable step toward enhancing privacy and identity protection across the platform.
